I’ve described how it looks, and I think it’s beautiful. The real reason it’s so special to me is that it belonged to my grandmother, who was a vibrant, energetic, and completely off-the-wall spirit. We used to sit in her bedroom while she told me stories about her jewelry and the significant moments in her life. She’d let me put on every piece of jewelry at once; then I’d perform little fashion shows to the music playing from the jewelry box. I was the only grandchild she let in her room to play with her jewelry.
